"I find nothing to alter or add on a revised hearing. But I shall have a little note ready for you immediately.
Even in that sphere of direst discords, in that age of sharpest enmities, the one touch of Nature preserved its old eternal virtue, and roused the mother-instinct which makes the whole world kin. Of the few persons in the court who at once foresaw the effect of Danville's answer on the proceedings of the tribunal, Lomaque was one.

Lomaque's thin lips seemed to close instinctively at the question, as if he were never going to speak again. He bowed Trudaine waited he only bowed again. Trudaine waited a third time.
"Silence!" retorted Lomaque, imperiously. "Silence, citizen, and respect to a decree of the Republic!" "You blackguard! show me the arrest-order!" said Danville. "Who has dared to denounce my wife?" "You have!" said Lomaque, turning on him with a grin of contempt. "You and 'blackguard' back in your teeth! You, in denouncing her brother!
